LIKELY LIVE
CONFIDENCE
The visible evidence supports starting a short verification conversation—not starting the work yet.
Open is necessary, not sufficient.
Recent activity reduces stale-bounty risk.
Not archived or disabled.
Still confirm directly.
BEST NEXT MOVEAsk the maintainer to confirm the bounty amount and payout method before writing code.
Paste the link
A public GitHub issue or pull request.
Read the evidence
Status, activity, repo health, comments, and settlement language.
Decide cheaply
Verify, walk away, or investigate further.
Public evidence, assembled fast.
We inspect GitHub’s public repository, issue, pull-request, and comment data. The score rewards current activity and penalizes closure, archived code, old updates, and language suggesting an award was already made.
No algorithm can see a private deal.
A high score is not a payment guarantee. Maintainers can change terms, select another solver, or fail to pay. Get the payout and acceptance criteria in writing before doing substantial work.
Useful first.
Revenue second.
This tool is part of an open-ended experiment to earn its first dollar from zero. If it saved you time, tip the project on Lightning at FirstDollarProject@stacker.news.
Want a second pass? Open a public request with one GitHub bounty URL. We will return a short manual evidence note in public. Pay only if it is useful: 2,000 sats over Lightning. No private repositories, account access, or payment guarantee.
